I am travelling to Turks and Caicos, I see that I can add a data plan, but I don’t see where or how I can make or receive calls. Can I? I will be there for only two weeks.

Hi Mark,

no you can't in that zone...

Hi Mark,

Fizz can only offer you data like Dapfizzer show you.

Fizz say this about roaming

Important : You will not be able to make calls while roaming outside your Canada or the United States.

Roaming calls (incoming or outgoing) will be available at a later time. We will update this FAQ when we have a firm date.

In the meantime, you will be able to use data, and send/receive texts when you travel outside your coverage zone. To make and receive calls, you can use messaging apps such as WhatsApp or Messenger.

They suggest you to buy a SIM card abroad

We recommend purchasing a local SIM card. This will give you access to better rates on data. Helpful tip: use messaging apps (whatsApp, Messenger...) to stay in touch on the road instead of calling and texting

Good evening

You can use Fongo for free to make or receive calls using a Canadian number on a data plan.

You can even set up call forwarding from your normal Fizz number to that Fongo number, so someone calling you won't even notice that you are abroad.

A bit geeky as a solution, but hey, it's Fizz ;)
